Default Bilstein Shocks

With my budget, I've decided to go with Bilstein shocks. I do not want to lower the car, which Bilstein are good? I have seen on Summit they about two or three options at not that much price difference. Also, should i sue my stock springs? Which springs do you recommend? Thanks for the help. I am learning as i go. Here is the link to a few.

Bilstein is a fine shock, especially if not intending to lower. There are only two part numbers in play for a 4th gen f-body, regardless of where you buy them

Bilstein Front Shocks: 24-024068
Bilstein Rear Shocks: 24-024075

Sara (2001 Z28) has a set of 4 Bilstein B6 shocks, and she loves them.

I like the Koni monotube 3rd gen shocks on soft for the rear(if they are still available).

OP,

If you're talking for a 4th Gen then @lees02WS6 is correct that it would be their B6 shocks.

Front: BSN-24-024068
Rear: BSN-24-024075

Regarding springs. If we're talking a 4th gen then that's a 20+ year old car. Chances are the springs have fatigued and lost some height. Just putting stock replacements on may make it appear "raised". However, they would settle after a bit and be right near where the car would have been from the factory. If you went with stock height springs we would look at Moog.

Front: MOG-60114
Rear: MOG-CC635

Let us know if we can be of any further assistance. We'll be happy to help!

Bilstein HD shocks and Strano sway bars are the optimum upgrade with no downside. Better handling, better control, less roll, and as or more comfortable than factory. Great choice. I did that combo on my '98 and it ate up miles. Did it on my 2012 Yukon too.
